The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (LRBS). The aircraft, a Bonanza G36, took off with a takeoff distance of 460 meters, which is 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of Sector 1 (Bucuresti, Romania), rising from 1,173 feet above sea level to 1,712 feet above sea level, an increase of 540 feet in just 1 minute, while covering 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Otopeni (Ilfov, Romania) and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Corbeanca (Ilfov, Romania), descending from 1,900 feet above sea level to 1,046 feet above sea level, a decrease of 854 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 3 nautical miles. The enroute climb started again 2 miles south of Peris (Ilfov, Romania), with the aircraft climbing from 1,055 feet above sea level to 1,813 feet above sea level, an increase of 758 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 4 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of Poienarii Burchii (Prahova, Romania) and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Brazii de Sus (Prahova, Romania), with the aircraft descending from 1,886 feet above sea level to 839 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,047 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 26 at LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu was made from the east, heading 262.0° at 0 nautical miles and 209 feet above ground level. However, the landing was not without issues. The threshold height at 87 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 110 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, and the touchdown speed at 96 knots was excessively fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -696 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 55.3 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 797 meters, which is 107% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 25.6 meters from the centreline.

In total, the flight distance was 29 nautical miles, taking 12 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 15 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 26 at LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu in the Bonanza G36

Landing Score 43.97 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Bonanza G36, has been involved in a landing that did not meet the desired standards. The final approach to runway 26 at LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu was initiated from the east, heading 262.0° at an altitude of 209 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing itself was not executed smoothly, with the threshold height being significantly above the target. This indicates that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing, which could have been due to a variety of factors such as incorrect descent rates or inadequate control of the aircraft's altitude. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 110 knots, which is a critical parameter in determining the safety and efficiency of the landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 50% of the available runway, which is a significant deviation from the desired touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 96 knots was also excessively fast, indicating that the pilot may not have fully arrested the aircraft's descent before touching down. The heavy touchdown rate of -696 feet per minute (fpm) further emphasizes the issue with the landing, as it suggests that the aircraft was not properly controlled during the descent.

In addition to the issues with the landing itself, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 55.3 meters from the centreline. This misalignment could have been due to a variety of factors, including crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -5°C and a wind of 2 knots at 269°, do not appear to have been a significant factor in the landing.

The total landing distance of 797 meters was 107% of the available runway, which is a significant deviation from the desired landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 25.6 meters from the centreline, which could have been due to a variety of factors including pilot error or inadequate control of the aircraft during the rollout.

Overall, the landing of the Bonanza G36 at LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu was not executed smoothly, with a variety of issues including excessive threshold speed, heavy touchdown rate, and misaligned touchdown position. These issues could have been due to a variety of factors, including pilot error, inadequate control of the aircraft, or other external factors.
